When you want to protect your home from intruders, you know that you need more than just a baseball bat.

The professionals at Ability Lock & Key also have tips on what you can do to protect your home from a break-in.

How can you secure your home?

• Keep Your Home Locked: Never leave your doors or windows unlocked and give an opportunistic thief access to your home. Ability Lock & Key advises that you never hide your spare key outside in a spot where it will be easy to find, such as under a flower pot by your door or beneath your door mat.
• Use Quality Locks: Install a lock with an internal anti-saw pin, which will make it difficult for burglars to cut through. You may also want to consider locks that have an anti-drill feature. If you install a deadbolt, the experts at Ability Lock & Key recommend that the bolt is at least one-inch long.

• Keep A Safe: If a thief manages to enter your home, he will try to take anything of value and leave as soon as possible. Ability Lock & Key suggests keeping your important documents and other valuable items in a secure safe. A quality safe will take time to break into, and time is something a burglar does not have.
